It is pretty easy. Just have your layout person create the layout you want as a .ps file, and insert helpful text into each place you want to dynamically replace text. Then open up the .ps file in Homesite and search for your strings. You will easily see what and where to insert your variable data. Regex can handle this easily.
I also have used Perl to manipulate and create postscript from scratch. The postscript::simple, ::document, etc libs at cpan.org can help a lot.

We have 3 directory sizes and 4 advertising sizes we want in this system. That gives me 12 possible permutations on each ad layout. I can have the graphic artists create the backgrounds and define the text locations. I then take the text entered into a web form and create a PostScript file. The jpeg and pdf files are created from this. I think I can make this work. I need to learn the PostScript Language, but I think that may do me. Sorry, just thinking out loud here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Save $10 Download ZoneAlarm Security Suite http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=66 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:149885 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
